Bragg would have followed up his victory the next day; but our troops were unable to move until our supplies came up. In this great battle Gen. Bragg has exhibited a military sagacity far over reaching Rosecrans, and by his masterly manœuvres has ha on Tuesday evening brought down the first installment of Yankee prisoners from Bragg's army. They were part of some 2,500 captured on Saturday, and were full of bo We doubt the correctness of these representations, but are glad to know that Gen.

ailroad, endeavored to reach Chattanooga with an engine, Wednesday, for the purpose of ascertaining the condition of the track, via Cleveland. The report made of this reconnaissance at Dalton was, that on reaching a point within five miles of Chattanooga they met Pegram's cavalry, about 1 o'clock, who ordered the party back to Dalton, and informed them the Federals were still in the town. Pegram had received orders to fall back to Chickamauga. When the engine passed Cleveland on its return Bird's brigade of Federal cavalry were reported within six miles of the town. Our forces stationed there being small in numbers were obliged to leave. It is evident we must have another struggle before Rosecrans is driven across the river. Rosecrans has certainly been concentrating his forces since Sunday, and that he has been able to gather as much physical force as he lost, may be true.

Burnside's disposable force may have joined him, and his garrisons left lower down and north of the river may have been hurried to his support. And it will be remembered that the letter of our correspondent, "Kingston," published yesterday, (who writes advisedly,) informs us that five brigades of infantry, one of cavalry, and several batteries of artillery, left Huntsville, Ala, on the 13th inst. If this force had not come up in time to participate in the late battle, they will have had time to make the march ere this. It is the impression of our officers they were engaged before, but the Federal officers captured say not. It may be so. Gen. Braggs' Dispatch to Gen. Beauregard.

Their advance on Georgia soil had been so successful and easy that they seemed surprised at the idea of being checked, contemplating a triumphant entrance into Atlanta. On Saturday, the 19th, the two contending armies confronted each other in battle array. Our line extended from Reed's bridge to Lee & Gordon's mills, a distance of between seven and ten miles, over a rugged, barren country of hill and dale. Between 8 and 9 o'clock A.

Helm, who was killed, was leading his men on to victory, when he fell mortally wounded in the abdomen by a Minnie ball. He was taken back to the hospital, six Shiloh, was his brother in-law. His wife is now in the city, and shares the sympathy of hosts of Kentucky friends and the people of the South generally. Before Gen. Helm died, the chaplain conversed and prayed with him, and he expressed perfect resignation to his fate, which he met in the same cheerful spirit that he has so well served his country. Thus, without a murmur, passed away another of the numerous through of brave defenders of truth, justice and liberty. In Helm's 1st Kentucky brigade 1,763 men went into action--432 only came out of it. Among the killed of this brigade we learn the following: Major Rice Graves. Breckinridge's staff, Col.

They appeared not in the least surprised at the intelligence of Rosecrans's rout on Sunday and Monday, but assert that they have a plenty of troops to protect their retreat after they cross the Tennessee. The number that arrived yesterday is 1,634. Among them are one Colonel and several Lieutenant Colonels and Majors, all the remaining officers being subalteras. They mostly belong to McCook's and Thomas's corps, composed of Kentucky, Ohio, Missouri, and Illinois troops.

Cheatham's division soon became under fire, with its artillery under command of Major Melauthon Smith. The fight was kept up with varied success, when the gallant divisifought his corps with great skill and ability, and with all the coolness that bravery can command.
